The I hit rays of the selling son gilded the spirsa of Weston, mud fill with softened glory along her pathway, at Nellie Lylie tumid from the household graves io dear to ber, and wended her iteps •lowjy and sadly homeward. Four weary week* bad elap*ed since | the grave bad closed over her last remaining earthly parent, and sow rbe waa about to go forth into the cold, cold world to battle her way alone. Kind frienda ofered the orphan a home, but she could oot eat tha bread of dependence ; and to, turning from their entreaties, she bad aeeepted the position of teacher in a achool several miles distant from ber home, and was now bid- | ding adieu to the resting-place of all! that was mortal of btr loved ones, pre- 1 paratory to entering upon ber work on : the morrow. Uhder the spreading branches of s j lofty oak might have been teen, one beautiful May moraiog, a group of children very earnestly engaged in discussing 1 some important quastion. As we draw j nearer, we observe thst the secret 0fj their childish debate is tba new teacher; j a subject that is, and always will be. on* of gnat interest to thoae before whose j mental tiaioo rite glimpse* of woary I hours . spent an hard benches, of ateru ' reproof called forth by Imperfect lessons, or whsn tba spirit of miscbiof within, j weary . with being so long restrained. i beams in tba aye, lights op the face, sad alas 1 lesps ont st the finger-ends, to be met by sn answering echo from a play- i mate, and calls dotFo npon them the punishment of aucb transgressors, la u any woeder that with this before them, tha advent of a new Uacber should be a | sarioas matter to them ? Hut let ns listen to the comments of the children tbemwlvss. "I know I shall !

j like h5£,"s«ys brigbt-eyed Clsra Wells; — I -"1* always iikffwy teacher I" "That's — ! becanse she lets yon do jnst as you're a • mind to," answers a playmate, "I wooid ; def what she looks like 1" says llattie ! Lee; 'tfalherssysshe is pretty." "Well," | says Charlie Elder, with an assumption I of boyish dignity, "if she's good, I'll j like ber, but I won't like her if she's cron and scolds Katie." As he Said ' I this, he passed his arm protectlngly > around a timid little girl by his side, i who looked np in his face with child- : | hood's perfect confidence "I shan't like her, I koow I hhaoH ; teachers always bate me; nobody do 't lore me," broke ' in a ragged I ttl* tioy, (whom the rest t ! culled Willie.) standing apart from the j ! rest," looking gloomily on ; and his Bp- j ! pea fanes bore testimoify to the truth of ; his assertion that be was indeed amoug | earth's desolate ones, who have no one , to love them As he finished speaking, • a soft hand was laid caressingly upon i I his head, and a sweet voice said "Dou't j say so, Willie; God lores you. 1 love you, and yon are going to love me, woiv'l you ?" and looking up, Williesaw, what seemed in his inisgioaliou the i fare of an angrl bending over him,. She held oot her hand to Willie, who timidly placed his liltlo brown palm in it, and then, turning to the reat of tho group, who were looking on in astonishment, she said : "Now can sny of you tell who 1 am and bow I come here ?" "I guess yon are the new teacher, *' answered llattie ; " Vause father said she • was pretty " "And you're going to school," added Clara. ' Quite cotnplimentaiy, my little Yankrrs, and I guess . you are right," replied N- llie. "And now come and give me a kiss, each of yoo, and tell me your names. Yon m»y call roe Mi*a Nellie, and let us go on to • school, for it is abonr time we were j til e re " It wa* only a few kind words, spring- ! lug from a warm heart ; but (he bad ' gaioed the confidence of tho little band, and through that first day at school, j looks of love followed ber j and they frit ; that fur ber to ulsme or approve, was punishment or reward enough. Give me the love of a child, before that of one who has grown wordly wise. Childish ; impulses are true ; they think, epeak, i and act Ont the loving impoflei of their i heart*, unbiased by cold calculation, uni chilled by contact with the world. Out to return to Nellie — her first day , st qcboul was ended, the last scholar had gone home, eager to tell of their new , teacher ; and closing the school-house, she went slowly dowp the shady pathway leading to her "boesding house," mnsir.g of the day's cxperisuce, and of the loved ; ones who were wont, in the sunny past. I to rejoice with her, or help her to bear . life's burdens ; and it seemed that hence- : , forth ber joys were robbed of half their ; , sweetnesa, and her sorrow* doubly heavy , because they could not abare them. She ; waa faat losing herself in the realms of , j forgelfulness, when, on turning a bend . in the road, she spied Willie, sitting on , . a snnny bank, apparently wailing for | ' her. As she drew near, he sprang to i his fret and offered ber a tiny bonqnet j of spring viulels, saying : "I picked rj these for you, Miss Nellie. Do you love ■ me? You said you did this morning, ! , but nobody didn't never love me before, . . ! and I gneas yon wouldn't, if yon knew . j my father a a* a drunkard." I ' "Why, ihat-ia not yoor fault, Willie; . and perliips, if you try to grow op a , noble, trnrbrarted boy, yoo may be the i means of making your father a better j , man.. Let ut ail down and talk about j , ; it a little while and siding there in | the pleassnt May sunshine, she told him ; i of Our Father, of the love lie hears ell I Ilis children, of the Strength He gives r them, to tread the path He marks ont , for their l.fe j»arnoy, and of the final | . ' reward they shall receive In the home j i J He has prepared for thoa* who love } ' Him. The *un wbj linking behind th* j i tallcat tree lops, and easting lengthened j , j shadows athwart the grttdsward, aa they : , rosa to pnrane their way homeward Spring gave place to summer, summer I to autnmtt, and atsll the young teacher t labored fiithfully at hrr post ; but her ; . atep waa on longer elaatie, as when she , t ; first earn* among them. Days of wear!- ! t ! ueu and nighu of pain were appointed , unto her. Kind frieu^s urged her to i ; real, but her only reply would he ; "I ! , have bet a little longer to stay ; let me f i work while the day lasts, I shall soon . 1 ! rut with my jjved ones. My heart

; ! thank* you for your loving care, but let '* me remain with my dear scholars while my strength lasts." And so she toiled !- on. palisutly and hopefully, until autumn t deepensd into winter, and then she felt " that her work on earth waa well-nigh n dohe, and unseap band* were leading her || | slowly but surety; down the dart valley noor by tinar Willie ut by her bedside, d learning from her lips lesaoos of faith j and hope, uo longer the despot.dicg Willi* of other day* ; for. catching sr-roe- |. thing of the spirit of his loved teacher, . e he I* looking forward to the futnre, and „ fondly dreaming of a time when bo shall ,. ! st e hln father restored to an honorable x place among men, and their scattered e | family circle ooiled and happy. Think . j you this tod great a work for a little ,( ! child to^o ? Many a little child bus led | f i them. r Ak-ofn It la tha early spring time, and Nellie is dying. Through the open win- , dow Qoats the breath of violets, bringing I to her mind h*r first tl*y in Elmwotid, uud the grateful offtriug of little Willie; and she tells them to .call her scholars, j pTIui she may bid thetu a last "goodB bye." One by one they come quietly L. in, press a last kiss ou those pale lips, i ^ and pass out, each one bearing some ] j little token of remembrance; and atill I Willie lingers, for be can not speak the ] last farewell wbilo other eyes look on | , As the last one passes oot, buries bis face in the clothes beside ber, and > j sob* : "0, Miss Nellie 1 1 cannot let yon , i ^0; you are all the friend I have, and , now are going to leave me. 1 can't love . God, if he takes yon." , "Don't, Willie, "jutldtbepyitig girl S I "it pains me to hear youTalk so. Are f yon not glad that I ahall s»on be beyond , : the reach of care and pniti ? Ilrre is ' , my Bible ; 'tie my last gift to yon, Wil- 1 , ' I c ; alien* all oth>r friends fail, this will I remain. Obey it* teaching*, and oh I . promiae me that you will mVet me iu I j heaven " "I'll try," sobbed Willie, as be clasped the Bible cloaaly to hi* breast. A amiU ( ; of more tbun earthly beauty rested on ; , ; her face, at "Mother, I come I" burst . j from her quivering lips. It was the Inst . of earth, aud Willie was alooe with the . , dead. Yean have patted since then, and io ; , the city of C , an association of . teachers are assembled to listen to an I address from the talented Rev. Mr. R — , ; Hi* theme is "The Teacher's Influence," I ; and his eye kindles with enthusiasm a* r ' t-.e pictures to them the power for good which the faithful teacher wields ; and r i noble resolutions are born in many a . : heart, and many an eye is dim with tears, - I as be tells the tale of the sainted Nellie and little WiHie, tod in a voice husky r > with emotion, he conclodes : . 1 "Nearly a score of years have passsd r since then, but etbrniiy only shall tell r the extent of the faithful, holy life of that ,■ young girl. Yoa see before one who f vu once "little Willie.' I am surronndI ed by all that makes life bright and , beautiful. My father and mother yet t ' lire, ho longer what they ooo* were, but ) cheered by the same hope that lighted I the valley of deeth for -her of whom I I ' have told yon. Thry are 'only walling.' . All that I am, and all that I hope to be, I owe to that teacher. She taught me I bow to live, and then closed her earthly ri lesson* bj teaching me how to die." — j He ceased, and wbao those teachers want . | f^rtb into the outer world again, it waa | ! with hearts better fitted to bear life's ! j-| bnrdrot, and to enter with renewed aval . i upon tbeir life duties ; while from the L j far-uff heights of heaven, she who long , before had "cast ber bread upon the , waters," looked down and found it "after I many days."
